Clocked

[Verse 1] Once upon a time, there was a young boy He grew up on the banks of the Mississippi He wants to fly away to find his personal paradise But first I give thanks and then finish my whiskey I can't explain why I feel so alone When I'm surrounded by these people who won't leave me alone We used to treat the pain like an obstacle Before we knew it offered opportunity to glue me to you It's a beautiful life, we tryin' to notice it But it's a difficult life, you gotta hold it in your fist Like a knife, don't ever bleed for vampires Skeptical of suckers tryna feed my trash fire If you got the time, you gotta make that impact Bend up the bars and break out of the syntax I keep running until I collapse Until my time's up and I don't come back [Chorus] Make time to have a good time If you can't find time, you might have to buy time Take a timeout before you're all out of time It's about time, don't be wasting my time [Verse 2] Once upon a time, there was a young boy He grew up on the bottom of the Twin Cities We bothered everybody at the party She could've been my Bobby, I probably was her Whitney I'll write a song for you, then write another one I struggle just to keep it down to a couple of Pages in the notebook, save you on a hard drive What's it gonna take to get your name in the archives? And I pretend to do the sensible thing But I've been swimming upstream ever since I could dream And it don't even seem like the line's getting shorter I need a drug that makes time move slower I been complaining just a little too often I should be thankful for these limited options I got a full belly and something to cough on Somebody tell me what the fuck is my problem? [Chorus] Make time to have a good time If you can't find time you might have to buy time Take a timeout before you're all out of time It's about time, don't be wasting my time [Outro] You know what time it is You know what time it is Time's killing us, time's killing us We killing time and time's killing us Time's killing us, k-killing us
